annual elections a member must have attended a minimum of 2 board meetings in
the past 12 months 2. Policy change: The policy on pets has been amended
to allow pets in the period sutler area subject to some basic restrictions a.
Must be kept in
the back or living area b.
Must be on a
leash or in a pet container at all times c.
Must not be
accessible to the general public 3: Policy change: In
the Infantry safety rules the part about “percussion weapons
only” has been removed so as to allow for flintlocks, which were in
heavy use, especially early in the war.
Also the sentence prohibiting “M-16s, rocket launchers, surface
to air missiles etc” has been replaced with a simple “no post
1865 weapons, including modern conversions” This means, as an example, no 1860
Colt or Remingtons with modern conversion cylinders designed to fire .45
caliber cartridge ammunition. Welcome
